HELP *TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD CH. 1*

English
1 answer:

Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Question:

Why do authors use satire?

Explanation:

Heya, I heard you need help! Well, let me explain for ya! c:

The definition of satire:

The definition of satire is basically the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

The other answers have nothing to do with funny things or "exposing things" other than D, which is the answer. Correct me if I am wrong in the comments.

Hope that helped! If you have anymore questions, just comment down and I will try my best to help you! Au revoir!

why is this sentence ineffective i have a lot of great skills that would really help your company be successful​
Aleks [24]
If I understand correctly, you’re asking why “I have a lot of great skills that would really help your company be successful” is ineffective. If that’s correct, it is because he does not list or name any of this skills therefore, the statement is ineffective.
